An American soldier called his parents from San Francisco after a war. “Mom and Dad, I’m coming

home, but I’ve got a favor to ask. I have a friend I’d like to bring 48 me.”

“Sure,” they replied. “We’d love to meet him.”

“There’s something you should know,” the son continued. “He was hurt pretty 49 in the fighting. He stepped on a land mine 50 lost an arm and a leg. He has nowhere else to go, and I want him to come and live with us.”

“I’m sorry to hear that, son. Maybe we can help him find 51 to live.”

“No, Mom and Dad, I want him to live with us.”

“Son,” said the father, “Someone like him would be a terrible burden on us. Just come home and forget about this guy. He will find a way to live on his 52 .”

Wentworth Girls' School

Dearest Mom and Dad,

I'm afraid I have some very bad news for you. I have been very naughty and the school principal is very angry with me. She is going to write to you. You must come and take me away from here. She does not want me in the school any longer.

The trouble started last night when I was smoking in bed. This is against the rules, of course. We are not supposed to smoke at all.

As I was smoking, I heard footsteps coming towards the room. I did not want a teacher to catch me smoking, so I threw the cigarette away.

Unfortunately, the cigarette fell into the waste-paper basket, which caught fire.

There was a curtain near the waste-paper basket which caught fire, too. Soon the whole room was burning.

The principal phoned for the fire department. The school is a long way from the town and by the time the fire department arrived, the whole school was in flames. Many of the girls are in the hospital.

The principal says that the fire was all my fault and you must pay for the damage. She will send you a bill for about a million dollars.

I’m very sorry about this.

Much love,

Sarah
